Default Scooby world race box and one have one? Opinions?

Looking to make my scoob trackable, currently have a full afterburner system with a mid silencer but its too loud for the tracks. The bung is then far too restrictive and if anything makes her scream louder!

Looking at buying a Race Box from scoobyworld as a part timer. Cant find any that look as good as the afterburner that will give me the same spec without the noise.
So who has one, how do people find them?

The racebox is no way near as loud as the afterburner vortex,and has more baffles in which is why it is a lot quieter than the afterburner.It is ,noisewise similar to the prodrive & scoobysport backboxes - quite subtle on tickover and a growl as the revs start to rise.

I have a Racebox on an 03 WRX and love it. I found my old Ninja 1 too loud and droned too much so went quieter. Racebox ticks all the boxes for me. No drone, quieter yet still gives out the right noises when required! LOL.
I have a sports cat downpipe and decat centre section, just fyi.

I would imagine there would be a slight performance gap, as the vortex is one of the best flowing exhaust you can buy. I now have a ninja 2 and find it perfect for everyday use, not as loud as a vortex or as quiet as a prodrive, I am having my car mapped on Saturday with the ninja 2 on so I am eager to see if there is a drop in power as I have switched exhaust, will keep you posted
